The Ginkgo tree, Ginkgo biloba, known as ginkgo or gingko and also as the maidenhair tree, is the only living species in the division Ginkgophyta, all others being extinct. It is recognizably similar to fossils dating back 270 million years. We have several Ginkgo trees here in our spa gardens as well and it's one of our favourite tree species!Like you we have some ginkgo leaves on a shelf at home in our appartment corridor; even a dry ginkgo leave ist a little beauty for a longer period of time.All the best from Germany, Uwe.

This is interesting to note that the gingko leaves could be rolled together into a bouquet of yellow roses. Nice!..... I also heard that Tokyo and Kyoto Universities are top in Japan as well as the world's Top 100.I hope to visit this Tokyo & Waseda Universities when I next visit Tokyo. I remember that you graduated from Waseda too.

Dear Twilight Man.Thank you very much for your comment. My elder brother graduated from Tokyo University. I graduated from Waseda University. There were many sightseeing foreign travelers from Asia in this campus. I hope you will come to Tokyo again in near future.

That is a beautiful campus. I love the symmetry of the lecture hall. I remember seeing Ginko trees in San Francisco and thought their leaves were interesting but I never thought of making a bouquet with them. Very clever. They look like a cluster of primroses.
